In eukaryotic cell membranes, phospholipids are asymmetrically distributed between the two leaflets of the lipid bilayer. For example, the extracellular leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM) is enriched with phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, while the cytosolic leaflet of the PM is enriched with phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine. The asymmetric distribution of PS in the PM is crucial for cell life, since PS in the extracellular leaflet of the PM is recognized as an “eat-me” signal by phagocytes. Inside the cells, a high PS concentration in the cytosolic leaflet of the PM is essential to facilitate various cellular events through the recruitment of signaling molecules such as protein kinase C and Akt.The asymmetric distribution of phospholipids is believed to be generated in part by phospholipid translocases, or “flippases.” The proteins responsible for flippase activity are type IV P-type ATPase (P4-ATPases). P-type ATPases are multispan transmembrane pumps that use ATP hydrolysis as an energy source. P-type ATPases undergo autophosphorylation of a conserved aspartate residue during the catalytic cycle, hence the designation of “P”-type. P4-ATPases are unique in that they are phospholipid transporters whereas other types of P-type ATPases are ion transporters.
